<p>Hydrogen is arising as a potential fuel source due to its high mass-specific energy and wide applicability. However, hydrogen must first be pressurized before being implemented, causing a loss in efficiency and larger ...

The third generation of the fluidic hand currently is in the process of clinical
trial. The new hand combines functionality and cosmesis. It has the natural shape
of a human hand and multiple new functions. The grasping ...

For efficient use of metal oxides, such as MnO(2) and RuO(2), in pseudocapacitors and other electrochemical applications, the poor conductivity of the metal oxide is a major problem. To tackle the problem, we have designed ...

<p>A number of 4-hydroxy amino acids have been synthesized via 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of novel Z-nitrones and substituted olefins. Three achiral nitrones were synthesized in pursuit of a conformationally stable yet ...

<p>Every day, approximately 800 women die from pregnancy-related complications. Most of these deaths are avoidable. Care from a skilled provider before, during, and after delivery has been shown to prevent a majority of ...

<p>Characterization of thin films, prominently including self-assembled monolayers is important to the understanding of interfacial events in both biological and manufactured systems. To facilitate such work, a surface ...

<p>3D dose verification has important advantages for comprehensive verification of advanced radiation treatments. We have designed, constructed, installed, and commissioned an in-house prototype three dimensional (3D) ...

<p>This research presents the detailed investigation of coupled-mode flutter and non-synchronous vibration in turbomachinery. Coupled-mode flutter and non-synchronous vibration are two aeromechanical challenges in designing ...

<p>As integrated circuits (ICs) continue to scale to smaller dimensions, long interconnects</p><p>have become the dominant contributor to circuit delay and a significant component of</p><p>power consumption. In order to ...

A patient combining transhumeral amputation and brachial plexus injury presented an opportunity to revisit the design of a frame sockets for control using multiple FSR’s. The superior socket wings bear on the user more ...

Depression is the largest contributor to the worldwide disease burden of mental, neurological and substance use disorders. Addressing perinatal depression is a particular challenge in low- and middle-income countries where ...

This paper provides an exhaustive review of critical issues in the design of climate mitigation policy by pulling together key findings and controversies from diverse literatures on mitigation costs, damage valuation, ...
